Pack Ranks in National Qualifying Score
The first round of National Qualifying Score (NQS) rankings were released this week, and NC State checked in at No. 25. With a 195.435 score, the squad is the highest ranked team in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League.

NC State sits in the top 25 in three events: bars - No. 24, beam - No. 25, floor - No. 25.

The NQS takes teams' highest six scores (three of which must be from away meets), eliminates the top score, and averages the remaining five.

Pack in the EAGL
The only undefeated team in EAGL competition (5-0), the Pack will get its first look at the EAGL Championships venue Saturday, as the conference tournament will be hosted by New Hampshire.

Individually, six NC State gymnasts hold eight spots with top-five NQS scores in the conference: Drew Grantham (vault - 9.835, second; floor - 9.850, tied second; all-around - 38.955, fourth), Alexa Phillips (vault - 9.815, third), Lauren Kent (bars - 9.820, second), Maggie Tamburro (bars - 9.800, tied fourth), Paris Phillips (floor - 9.840, fourth), and Caitlyn Fillard (all-around - 39.005, third).
